Hi Corolla,
I was in process of responding to Marliyn Agee concerning
hell being the Lake of Fire, and your question is the
answer. I believe the demons, fallen angels, etc., were
re-assigned a place to be kept
(hell), but because of mankind allowing sin to enter
in, this gave the demons the right to not be punished in
the same way as mankind for disobeying the truth,
rather these demons to be tormenting spirits, with
the fallen angels kept in chains in another place (Tartaros;
the lowest part of hell). I believe the Lake of Fire
will be a place where all evil spirits, demons,
fallen angels, Satan, Antichrist, the false prophet, the
Nephilim (each individual spirit that inhabited the Nephilim,
God having put them in death), and all mankind who received
not the truth to do it, will spend their
eternity. Hell is that place for now, but later, death
and hell will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
Obviously there is much more to this topic where we could
go into a much deeper exegisis.
In Christ,
Greg
